Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 1417 - 1417 1403 Envy

Chapter 1417: Chapter 1403: Envy Chapter 1417: Chapter 1403: Envy This girl must have gone crazy, otherwise, why would she be so confident? But her analysis does have some merit.

Guo Yuyun said, “Don’t you think so? You’re worried that when the time comes, the Evil Spirit will help them stir up trouble and kill our people. I guess apart from the Wolf King’s Ring and the Dragon Slayer Sword, no one can defeat the Evil Spirit. But you have to deal with Longhun, so it’s impossible for you to come out and face the Evil Spirit. So we only need to make sure the Evil Spirit isn’t under their control.”

“But this task shouldn’t be yours to take. You think it’s something you can trial and error with? Let me tell you, you’re completely wrong. Don’t assume that just researching for a while makes you a master. It’s not that easy. One small mistake, and you could be eaten,” Ye Chen clearly disagreed.

Yang Tao’er couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Why didn’t someone tell me that one small mistake could get me eaten when you let me deal with the Evil Spirit?”

Ye Chen looked at Yang Tao’er, and indeed, the girl was right. He was indeed favoring someone in this matter, but who doesn’t show favoritism? Letting someone you like take risks is truly foolhardy.

Yang Tao’er was eating wild fruits.

Guo Yuyun said, “This is my choice.”

“What, your choice? Haven’t you seriously considered me, listened to my opinion?” Ye Chen started to become anxious.

Guo Yuyun smiled and said, “When you put on the Wolf King’s Ring, did you consider me, listen to my opinion?”

“That’s different.”

“What’s so different? You choose to play the hero, why do I have to consider you in what I do?”

Unexpectedly, these two suddenly started bickering. Yang Tao’er found it amusing and said, “Alright, let me handle this matter, so you don’t really get eaten by it. Then he’ll have me find him a wife exactly like you. Where am I supposed to find another one of you?”

Guo Yuyun spoke up, “Then, when the time comes, I’ll join forces with you. The two of us can take on the Evil Spirit together.”

“Fine, it seems we have no other choice,” Yang Tao’er said, turning to Ye Chen. “You won’t disagree with this too, will you? If you even disagree with this, you’re really harsh on me. You brag about how strong I am, yet you don’t want your wife to help me. Let’s see if you can live with that.”

Ye Chen could only offer a forced smile.

Guo Yuyun spoke up, “I can decide this matter on my own, don’t listen to him.” It seemed like she needed to reclaim the feeling of not listening to the other, Ye Chen had done too many such things to her, and now she wanted to get it all back at once so that he could really feel what it was like when she spoke and he never listened.

Yang Tao’er smiled and said, “Don’t worry, if anything unexpected happens, I’ll let your fiancée run away first. Does that settle it?”

Guo Yuyun murmured, “As long as the Evil Spirit isn’t completely controlled, we can exploit the loophole, right?”

Yang Tao’er said, “Even if it is controlled by them, if you’re capable, you can still succeed. It just depends on whether you truly have that ability. Here, ability is what matters most.”

Ye Chen couldn’t persuade Guo Yuyun, but Yang Tao’er’s words also made it difficult for him to refuse. If he didn’t agree, it would really hurt her feelings. So, he said, “When the time comes, if the Evil Spirit appears, just prevent it from causing trouble, and buy us one hour.”

“Of course. What, do you expect us to kill the Evil Spirit or turn it against them and make the Evil Spirit help us fight the Dragon Slaying Clan? If we can manage to succeed without letting the Evil Spirit join in and help the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan against the inhabitants of the Demon Domain and the Thirty-Six Islands, you should be grateful,” Yang Tao’er of course had self-awareness.

Guo Yuyun called out, “Alright, it’s noon, I’m hungry. Let’s stop ahead for a break, then continue on our way.”

The horse car slowly came to a halt at the bend ahead.

Everything around was still quiet, next to a small grove.

Guo Yuyun seemed to hear the sound of running water and said, “I’m going to wash my face.”

Yang Tao’er followed and said, “I’ll go with you.”

Following the sound of the stream, they went ahead, leaving Ye Chen alone. He dismounted from the horse, let it graze some grass, and drink some water.

Yang Tao’er, following behind Guo Yuyun, suddenly said with envy, “Hey, that guy still cares about you a lot.”

“And I don’t care about him?”

“Of course you care. I’m just particularly envious. If only I could also find someone who cares about me.”

“You’ll find someone eventually, just take your time.”

Yang Tao’er enviously said again, “Just the thought of me facing the Evil Spirit has him worried about you. How can he be so cruel? Really.”

“Hey, I’m joining forces with you, aren’t I?”

“That doesn’t change my opinion of him,” Yang Tao’er said disdainfully.

“Alright, opinions aside, do you think we have a chance against the Evil Spirit?”

Yang Tao’er looked at her in surprise and said, “No way, you were so confident, saying you could handle it and that you’ve made a lot of progress. Were all those boasts just hot air?”

“I just can’t stand it. Why do I have to listen to him whenever I do something, and when he does something, he never listens to me? It’s not fair.”

“My goodness, you’re throwing a fit, taking risks out of spite.” Sure enough, they turned around and saw a clear stream with water flowing gently, where they could see the fish underneath.

“It’s just that little bit of being peeved, just not willing to accept it. Why does he always do whatever he wants, never listens to anyone else, but when it comes to me, he has to make all sorts of comments and disagree if he wants to?”

“That’s also because he cares about you.”

“Heh, but I must make him understand how uncomfortable it is for someone when their feelings are disregarded.”

“You two are just like little bickering friends.”

Guo Yuyun squatted down, rolled up her sleeves, and found a rock by the water. She needed to wash her face and also cool her feet, then added, “I’ve grown, that’s true. I’ve never seen how powerful Evil Spirits are, but I have encountered Sea Demons and Demon Gods. Since Evil Spirits are ranked above them, they must be more formidable.”

“Getting scared now?”

After removing her shoes and setting them aside on a rock, she rolled up her pants, and dipped her feet into the water, and it was indeed pleasant. After washing her face, she said, “I’m not scared.”

“Heh, if I don’t agree, I bet that guy won’t let me off the hook.”

“It’s not that serious. If you don’t agree, what could he really do to force you?”

“It’s not that simple. He’s been good to you, and I’ve never seen him so anxious before.”

Indeed, it was a lot more comfortable.

Yang Tao’er continued, “Don’t worry, we’re not going to kill the Evil Spirit, nor are we trying to take control of it. We’re just preventing it from easily following Baili He’s orders. I think it’s very doable and shouldn’t pose too much of a problem.”

Yang Tao’er also immersed her feet into the cold stream water, which was truly relaxing.

Ye Chen happened to lead the horse over to the river to drink.

Not really wanting to get up, Yang Tao’er called out, “Monkey, bring the food over here, we’re going to eat by the water.”

After Ye Chen let the horse drink, he went back and brought the food to them.

“Don’t you want to come over and soak your feet?” asked Yang Tao’er.

Ye Chen said, “I still have to fetch some water.” With that, he walked away.

“Be contented, he never used to care about others, but on this trip, I’ve noticed that he actually cares quite a bit about you,” Yang Tao’er said with a hint of envy in her voice.

“Really? I haven’t noticed that at all.”

“Pretend all you want. Sure, having someone who cares and looks after you is nice. It’s better than us, who can only care for ourselves. Besides that, I don’t know what to do.”

“Don’t be so negative. With your beauty and your miraculous healing skills, you’re worried about not finding a good match?”

“How can I find one living up in the mountains?”

“This time, once we defeat Longhun, I’ll help you look.”

“Heh, thinking about finding someone for me already? I’m not in a rush,” Yang Tao’er continued, “Like Monkey says, I don’t want to have children so soon. I haven’t even had a comfortable life yet. If I have a child now, that would be the end of my life.”

Guo Yuyun opened the bag, which contained grilled sesame seed cakes, glutinous rice chickens, and also a roasted chicken…

“I’ll go for the glutinous rice chicken,” Yang Tao’er said.

Guo Yuyun handed her a glutinous rice chicken and then opened the bag with the roasted chicken.

Yang Tao’er said, “This time, we can’t repeat the past. Even though we defeated Longhun last time, we didn’t eliminate it completely, leading to this recurrence.”

“Let’s talk about defeat first. Besides, it was Su Zhanze’s doing last time. He’s the one they caught; all the responsibility should be on him.”

“Yeah, but he didn’t do it on purpose. It was Shi Xueqin who let Longhun escape.”

“Shi Xueqin?”

“Hmm, wasn’t Su Zhanze working with Ling Li to capture Longhun? Ling Li likes Shi Xueqin, but after analyzing with Ye Chen, Shi Xueqin realized that Longhun was in the hands of Su Zhanze and Ling Li. Coincidentally knowing Ling Li’s whereabouts, she went to find Ling Li to see if Longhun was with him. Unexpectedly, on the way, she encountered Meng Xiuluo, who was also searching for Longhun. She learned that Longhun was indeed with Ling Li, and later Meng Xiuluo persuaded her. They took the opportunity when Su Zhanze was not in Bamboo Manor and jointly rescued Longhun.”

Guo Yuyun was unaware of this incident and said, “Shi Xueqin’s father, Shi Yin Zun, was killed by Longhun. Why would she help Meng Xiuluo rescue Longhun?”

“The mystery lies there. Shi Xueqin became pregnant with Longhun’s child before knowing he was the killer. She couldn’t bear the thought of her child growing up without a father. Also, she must have loved Longhun.”

“That’s really complicated.”

“Alas, let’s not talk about this now. Let’s fill our stomachs first.”
